The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, in southeastern Asia between the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Its extensive coastline are dotted with white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters that are teeming with marine life, corals and lush foliage.


For 2 nights we'll enjoy the 'castaway camping experience' on a pristine island where we sleep under the stars in our individual mesh tents. Our trip concludes in the paradise of Busuanga, with its white-sand beaches, coral reefs, dense rainforests, mangrove swamps and the crystal-clear lakes. 

ElderTreks 28-day tour of the Philippines offers perhaps the most in-depth experience of this incredibly beautiful, exotic and diverse country.

ElderTreks' 20-day journey to the Lost World of the Mayans is probably the most exhilarating Mayan trip you will ever encounter. This fantastic adventure includes the great Mayan cities of Tikal (Guatemala), Copan (Honduras), Caracol or Xunantunich (Belize), Palenque, Uxmal, Chichen Itza and Tulum (Mexico). We also journey to seldom-visited Calakmul, Tikal's great rival. We explore remote Yaxchilan, accessible only by boat, before crossing the border into Guatemala. Visit Quirigua, the site which includes the stelae with its Mayan calendar referring to in the "end of the world" predictions for Dec 21, 2012. The demise of the Mayan civilization - the end of the world as foretold in the astrology and beliefs of the Mayan, have long created intrigue and mystery. Click here for more information!
